Hi, I'm trying to upload files > 1MB using form enctype mutipart/data, and all goes fine until I hit just under 1MB.

I can upload multiple files at once less than 500kb each and all stays well, yet when I try and upload 1 or more larger files, I.E gives me the page "Action Canceled", this means that it doesnt even get to the cgi script!!!!

Does anyone have any ideas as to why this is? I wrote the cgi script to upload files myself, and its a first for me so thought I'd use someone elses to test it (psupload), as it claimed to be capable of 500MB+, yet I get the same problem...

This leads me to believe it may be a server problem...?

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated

Thx

It appears that it may be the firewall or firewall(s) configured as default to not allow a request of more than 1mb in total, haven't yet proved 100% but am doing so in the next couple of hours

If you could use the psupload script to upload files more than 1MB and you can't use your own script to upload, then it is probably not a firewall problem. It is most likely have something to do with buffering. :p
